LOVE SONG, by ROSSITER WORTHINGTON RAYMOND Poet's Biography First Line: Shall I love you like the wind, love Last Line: The nearer to the stars! Subject(s): Love - Nature Of | ||||||||
Shall I love you like the wind, love, That is so fierce and strong, That sweeps all barriers from its path And recks not right or wrong? The passion of the wind, love, Can never last for long. Shall I love you like the fire, love, With furious heat and noise, To waken in you all love's fears And little of love's joys? The passion of the fire, love, Whatever it finds, it destroys. I will love you like the stars, love, Set in the heavenly blue, That only shine the brighter After weeping tears of dew; Above the wind and fire, love, They love the ages through. And when this life is o'er, love, With all its joys and jars, We'll leave behind the wind and fire To wage their boisterous wars, Then we shall only be, love, The nearer to the stars! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE THE DEAD by DAVID IGNATOW BUTTERFLIES UNDER PERSIMMON by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE HE WHO KNOWS LOVE by ELSA BARKER LOVE'S HUMBLENESS by ELSA BARKER SONG (IN THE LUCKY CHANCE) by APHRA BEHN CHRISTUS CONSOLATOR by ROSSITER WORTHINGTON RAYMOND |
